Student #1

By Tristan Anderson

              This student is in 9th grade and is a female. She has lived in one state her whole life, and that is of course Utah! She enjoys playing softball and loves munching on Berry’s fries. She has four siblings and is terrified of spiders.

              Her most embarrassing moment is when she was at Maceys grocery store; she got inside a car that she thought was hers.  When she looked again, it was the wrong car. She flew out the door and felt so embarrassed.

Submitted by david.thacker on Wed, 12/05/2012 - 09:29

On Tuesday, October 9th, Mr. LeMmon and Mrs. Lundgren's 7th grade Utah Studies classes visited, This is the Place Monument. The students seemed to enjoy the trip, and the stories that the workers told. 

The monument is there to honor the LDS pioneers who entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 lead by Brigham Young. As Brigham Young looked out over the valley of The Great Salt Lake, he spoke the words, “This is the place .” The pioneers called this land Zion, meaning “The Pure in Heart,” or “The Chosen Place.”
